Question

1.

Which statement explains why the recombination frequency between two genes is always less than 50%? Recombination cannot be more than 50% because chromosomes are only 50 map units in length. The genotype of the F, gametes will always be 50% parental gametes and 50% recombinant gametes. Genes with a recombination frequency near 50% are unlinked and have an equal likelihood of being inherited together or separately. F1 gametes always have 50% of their alleles from each parental gamete. O

Answer 1

Answer 1)

Genes with recombination frequency near 50% are unliked and have an equal likely hood of being inherited together or separately.

When the recombination frequency is 50%, then there is found no linkage between the genes. That's why there is found independent assortment between genes. And there is found equal proption of each type of gene arrangements.

Answer 2)

The higher the recombination frequency, the farther apart two genes on a chromosome.

The recombination frequency tells baout the genetic distance between two genes in centiMorgan

The higher the recombination frequency, the farther the genes are found on a chromosome. The lower the recombination frequency, the closer the genes are found on a chromosome.

Answer 3)

group of alleles in close association on a chromosome that are likely to be inherited together.

Haplotype is the set of genes which are found on a single chromosome and such group of genes are inherited together during gamete formation.
